She had been a great sufferer for two years from that most insidious of all diseases, eonsump' tion, and death was to her a happy release from her sufferings. She bore her long and painful Illness with heroic Christian fortitude and resignation and was fully prepared for the change that was ushered in, having a lively hope of a blessed immortality beyond the grave.

Niagara Falls, Ont., Sept. 25.-One of the deepest laid schemes, through both the United States and Canadian mails was unearthed here late Satur- day night by the arrest of a slick-look- ing man wearing a close cut black beard and fashionable clothing, at Ni- 'agar'a Falls, N.Y., who has been living in good style at the Hotel Atlantique since early in August. He gave his name as \V.C. Woodward, New York.

Address P. O.Box 9, Niagara Falls Centre, Ont., Canada. Since the publication of this letters have been pouring Into this box much to the disgust of the postmaster, and seldom a day passed that did not bring from 75 to 100 letters from gullible people, mostly farmers, many inelosmg photographs, and these came from Ply- mouth Ind.; Los Angeles, Cal.; Ocala, Fla.; St. Paul, Minn.; Marysville,Cal., and hosts of other places. The best specimens were picked out by Wood. ward, who replied in a lady's hand, and, by these actifiees, succeeded in inducing the writers to send her mon- Mr. Erauk Vipond, "Eehoise" Sat- urday News-Ledger, Toronto, was in town yesterday in the interest, of his paper. ey so that she could slip away from hercruel guardian and come to them to get married. One victim sent her 8100 from New Jersey and then, sus- peering, something wrong, came on here and finally reported the fraud to Chief Young, who conferred with Chief Dinan of Niagara Falls, N. Y., to act with him when the.time, came. Easily obtaining a description of the man who called for mail at the postoffiee, he kept watch. Then the man, who evi- dently had tumbled that he was sus- peeted, sent a boy for the mail. Fin- ally on Saturday evening Chief Young saw a boy call for the mail. He fol- lowed him and noticed a man meet the boy at the top of the Clifton House here, and took the mail from him. The boy ran on and the chief shadowed on the man and telegraphed the police ofh'ee at Niagara Falls, N.Y.. to be on the alert. After Woodward arrived on the American side he was shadowed to the Hotel Atlantique by Offieei. Roland, where Woodward went direct to his room. Young requested his ar- rest by the American oifieers. When latter entered the room, Woodward was calmly opening his letters aided by his accomplice, and noticing the " fieers Woodward jumped up as if shot and went down stairs. Of course the officer followed him. In the meantime Chief Dinan heard of the arrival of Woodward at the hotel, and came in just as Woodwavcl was going out. He had a chase after him, but caught him and locked him up. The other man and the letters were taken to police headquarters, where they were inspect- ed by Inspector Charles E. Lewis and the offieevs. To each of the letters the follow- ing 'newspaper clipping was attached _ "The reception given in honor of Miss Myriam B. Reed by her guardian Mr. Howard B. Reed, was a very pleasant and enjoyable affair. Among those/ present were :--Judge A. B. Glendomey of New York City, Dr. Eds/ard C. Marble and wife of Boston, Rev. E. B. Darmouse of Brooklyn, N.

At the present time some 30 lets tm's are at the posroth'ce for Myrian, amongst them a registered one. All of them have been retained by the po- lice. .There arrived today a box of flowers addressed to the fair one. It burns out that the accomplice Brown is an ex-assistant Attorney of Niagara. County, N. Y., and is well known around 1vilson,N.Y. He is allowed his freedom on bail, and those who know Brown claim that he was duped into the swindle by Woodward. The two men have an office in the Gluck Build- ing at Niagara. Falls, N. Y., doingbus- iness as Woodward k Brown, solicitors. The police are of theZopinion that there is more behind the matter than has as yet come to light, and a great deal of credit is due Chief Young for: un- earthing such a deep scheming swindle with the groundihe had to work on. He commenced the trail from the news- paper clipping of the grand reception to Miss Myriam A. Reed at, Niagara Falls, having graduated from Vassar College with honors, and the chief worked the trail as he did in the Bir- chall case, with the imaginary electric lighted farm Birchall duped poor Ben- well and Polly.
